I like to introduce the world to the exuberance of today .

Each day being fresh and new unto itself, I look forward to sharing these experiences with the world as my contribution , to make this a better place. I hadnt been feeling well l8 ly and a friend came by and I must say laughter is the best medicine. A few hear ty laughs and I began to feel better. I didnt need to take anything. A dose of m y own ELIXER is what did the trick. Thats why I take a dose of my own medicine. I strongly recommend it. Laughing at something completely ridiculous was the cur e.Laughter has always been one of my muses for writing and it gets the Tod stew brewing .The news always has enough nonsense for me to twist to get a new persp ective on the ordinary lunacy . A few select news ingredients are required to m ake this extraordinary stew really brew. A large amount of laughter is require d. So below is the Wikipedia definition of laugh. Dont try this with out smiling . Parents are strongly cautioned that your kids will look at you strange if they see you trying to laugh with out smiling. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A laugh is a way of showing happiness. It is a noise that a person makes when he hears something funny, like a joke, or is tickled. Sometimes people laugh when they are not happy. When people are ashamed or embar rassed, sometimes they react by laughing. There are different ways to laugh. A person can laugh using mostly their voice, mostly their throat, or mostly their nose.

You can write a laugh in different ways. Some people write ha ha ha, or he he he, or hehe. If they are on the internet, they also use LOL. LOL does not sound like a laug , but it stands for Laughing Out Loud. Laughter can be observed in human babies from around three or four months and is usually an expression of surprise. Babies laughter often produces a positive res ponse in adults who will involuntarily copy the child. Video footage, on the You Tube site, of babies laughing was shown to Queen Elizabeth II during her visit, on 16 October 2008, to the Google headquarters, where both she and her husband t he Duke of Edinburgh were reduced to fits of giggles.

Well after some research I found that simple biological functions can be funny. flatulence is always funny. Especially in public .. Im jus sayin. And if its a celebrity , thats even better. Im pretty sure Lady Ga Ga let one rip. I KNOW Beyonce has. Mariah Carey doesnt.(She doesnt appear to be the type that does .And if she did she it would probably get a Grammy .Im jus sayin and neither does J ennifer Hudson) Im almost sure Chelsea Handler has admitted to it. Ive actually he ard on the news that Britney Spears does it in such an offensive manner that a former assistant filed a complaint. That was funny because the complaint was thr own out. Everybody knows that Britney just naturally stinks . Im jus sayin. There have also been reported cases of laughter causing flatulence.( Who reports this stuff?) I wonder . If when with a group of people, you laugh so hard at somethin g and pass gas, would it still be funny? Im jus sayin . Would you laugh at your self? (Lets not find out,lol) But Im sure the news does and jus to find out Im going to listen to the antics an d shenanigans and see how I can put a new twist on the dull and mundane startin g with weather.After these messages. Oh yea, the commercials have their own thing going on too. Especially ads . I se e someones imagination had run away with them and they came up with the FREE A

LZHEIMERS SEMINAR . What is this, DIY Alzheimers?Does that mean that you get free Alzheimers? Should I walk in expecting to get Alzheimers free?Im jus sayin .Shou ld I complain if I dont get it ? Well ? Its like the DO NOT CALL LIST that tele marketers are supposed to go by , its non existent. Who really gives Free Alzhei mers Seminars ? And who really attends these seminars that offer Free Alzheimers ( Im thinking members of Congress. You know they have been a little indecicive l ately ,this according to the news .And we already KNOW theyre VERY flatulent. Im jus sayin) Do you really want to know??? (Yes! of course you do!) More on that later,but first trafficDo you see the story brewing? Welcome. Ive been expecting you!

I see a story about to brew. Were having Todstew today One of the best lessons I learned about love is forgiveness. I believe that is one of my typical Aquarian traits . Ive often mentioned that I would always forgive those who have wronged me. I ne ver wanted to hold a grudge in my heart.It takes away the forgiveness. Subscribi ng to the I can forgive , but I cant forget theory just isnt in me. Forgiveness is like love.its unconditional. Forgive us of our sins , as we forgive who. One day (hopefully never) I may do something so dreadful , Id like to hold on the fact t hat Ive always forgiven others ,so perhaps that same grace could be extended to m e. But Im not w8ng for that .Im still going to forgive people because it activat es the love that is necessary in order to do such forgiveness. Its nothing that Tod is doing greater in me . In the mean time I still need my dose of tv new s to help me put a new twist on the dull and mundane way I look at things. Heres a tidbits that I thought needed some twisting Rupert Murdock apologizes. But first, Rumour has it that the infamously famous Fashionistas are winding down their la st shows after 4 years . Thanks for the memories Fashionistas. When I mentioned earlier about forgiveness I was serious. To err is human. For wh atever reason we as humans fall short of the mark. Admitting that short coming i snt always easy.Public scutiny, gossip and even fear can paralyze someone from ad mitting mistakes. (or the truth) Who really likes to be called out on their st uff, right ? Nobody does. Its always better to come clean before someone else do es it for you. Especially if you are the czar of a News Empire like Rupert Murdo ck .The whole hott mess of phone hacking has really hit the proverbial fan. Why cant someone hack into the telemarketers phone system and take my number out so they will stop calling me? Huh? Im jus sayin. Id love to hear the news report say one day, Millions of phone records erased from telemarketing firm and telemarket ers are left with no one to call. Thats a story that Id like to brew. Id like to get those telemarketers in a room and in-terr-or -gate (interview and ,investigate using extremely unusual methods) them. Thats what makes the tod stew, brew. Bu t with Mr Murdock for whom Ive had a lot of respect for I can forgive,because he knew he was wrong and admitted it and apologized. Remember the Long Weiner Scand al. Those two were accused of ????? One lied about any wrongdoings and later adm itted it in a press conference amongst hecklers and the other settled. Mr Murdoc k at his age Im sure is taking stock of what hes done and is regretful. Admitting mistakes and manning up to the consequences is always an honorable thing to do. A lot of famous people have made bad choices and have had to admit wrongdoing an d had to suffer the consequeces of such choices . Later they emerge better peop

le with more respect and a different outlook on life. (Micheal Vick) Like the Ph oenix from the ashes Lying and deflecting ,to me,makes it appear that something is being covered up. But remember keeping the top on a pot of tod stew on while i ts brewing on high heat will inevitably cause that lid to blow off. You dont wan t to be standing near a fan , because when it hits..im jus sayin, Leave a comment . . July 21, 2011 Hello world. Its going to be a very Tod day today..(Im jus sayin.) The inner healing that we experince does not come from sitting down with anyone and allowing them to tell you what is wrong with you. It is expressed by sitting alone and allowing the inner voice to tell you what is right with you. Building that dialoge within yourself is the best way to display and prove this to yours elf and claim your own victory.Once our subconscious mind has accepted certain i deas the process to bring change comes about naturally. We experience those mome nts of clarity when the inner voice within guide us through diffuculties. Those diffuculties are cleverly placed to teach us to rise above the storm and to remin d us that faith is the substance.. . That is how your inner reflection is projected into world. When we look at the stumbling blocks as stepping stones , and hold y our head up high and say, Thank you, you know that God is on the job and hes got tha t already worked out. Thats how I know its gonna be a very Tod day todayThe Tod pa rt of me is the greater in me than he who is in the world. Sharing these experienc es with with the world is how I practice to be the greater in me. Oh and by the way, heres one more little thing I almost forgot to mention when I pray, I pray l ike this . Its how I pray attention. Amen .. And . Welcome . Ive been expecting you!

In order to keep thing in s todly fashion, I like to combine my humor and imagi nation with the news. It makes news look like a funny sitcom. By the way the be st news is the DAILY BUZZ .I like to watch it in the morning .The cast ,aside f rom being informative , has a truly unique way of presenting the news. With segm ents like HEAD DRAMA and HOTT MESS, I cant go wrong with brewing a new twist on the dull and mundane. And since my imagination has been running way with other p eople, I cant help but go back to previous posts and see how the story on breast s contine to brew, Yes breasts. Again. In aprevious post

Moms Stage Nurse-In To Protest Ban On Public Breastfeeding Of Kids Over Two TSK, TSK, TSK, Those poor hungry 2 year olds are gonna be so so hungry and mad.E specially the fat ones .They are not gonna like that all!!The babies should revo lt and stage a shit in Im pretty sure they could do it .easily. Todlers of the world should unite, and exercise their right their right to be nursed, while in some case the dad is at at the HOT MESS TOPLESS GO GO EMPORIUM AND FAMILY FUN CENTER exercising his right to get nursed with Jacki. In the VIP room..Im jus sayin. What if a mom is out and the baby just latches out in public and the mother has to d ecline her right to feed and the baby decides he wants it now and the breast pol ice see it. I know some one who said he was breast fed as a child.But thats not t he term he used The term he used caused me to seem him riding his bike down the

street as a 7 year old and his mother comes over while hes peddling down the s treet and just wips a breast and feeds him(Im still trying to erase that from my mind)..Im just sayin.My point takes a humorus poke at a serious issue, how we mu st exercise our rights. Even if it mean having a breast in (even though theyre gonna be out)(But not like the stripper out.) Those chix really have all figured out .How to toplessly exercise their right to freedom of expression and get pa id. Later on in that post I mentioned that they have developed the LL bra.Kudos to t he people who decided NOT to go with the triple k bra.(Im jus sayin). The story ended with me mentioning young girls who would aspire to be wearing the ZZZ bra and the doctor who would design the breasts to put in that bra. More on that l aterbut first. But to help that little girl aspire to have larger breasts, toy makers have come up with their own twist on the dull and mundane with the most contreversial ite m in toy stores. With Christmas right around the corner,are you ready for this? Oh and let me say my imagination had nothing to do with this,but I think someon e elses imaginination ran away with them. Uh oh! I think I see a story brewing. Or is it a scandal? Heres a Todtv exclusive twist on the dull and mundane. BREAST FEEDING DOLL HITS THE MARKET Its only a matter of time befre they have dolls that have sex and reproduce. Im jus sayin. But in reality in a Forbes report a few days ago heres what I found.

Sure, weve had dolls that eat, pee and even poop. But now Berjuan Toys Breast Milk Baby, a doll that lets little girls (and boys) learn about breastfeeding, is coming to a toy store near you. In a press release yesterday, Alicante, Spain-based Berjuan Toys announced their commitment to bring their Breast Milk Baby doll St ateside after it sold well overseas. The company has generated more than $2 million in sales since the dolls were first released in Spain four years ago. Even before we released the dolls in Europe, we have been receiving e-mails, letters, phone calls and messages from breastfeeding activists all over the States, said Berjuan Toys U.S. spokesperson Dennis Lewis in an interview I conducted yesterday. He added that the doll previously received a formal endorsement from the Spanish breastfeeding organization FEDALMA, as well as support from members of other international breastfeeding organizations. Each doll comes with a fashionable halter-top to be worn by the child; its decorated with two flowers carefully positioned where the nipples would be. The doll then makes motions and suckling sounds when a sensor in its mouth comes close to sensors inside the flowers. Available in bot h genders and three different skin colors, the six types of Breast Milk Babies ar e currently on sale in Europe and available online for $89, though Lewis said that they expect them to be on sale in U.S. brick-and-mortar stores after the company meets with various retailers and buyers at the Las Vegas ASD merchandise trade show later this month. Breast Milk Baby Lilyang (Image: Berjuan Toys) Our dolls are perfect for boys and girls two years and older, he said of the dolls target demographic. Although we usually only think about little girls playing with dolls, the truth is that boys need to acquire healthy nurturing skills as well. Not everyone agrees with this sentiment. Back in March, Berjuan Toys caused a stir when it first offered the dolls online. Outlets such as Fox News and ABC g ot wind of it, and suggested that the doll was perverted and would force girls to grow up too quickly. To outraged critics who think the doll potentially teaches kids about baby-making too early, Lewis maintained tha t breastfeeding has absolutely nothing to do with sex. By learning about a healthy, natural way to feed a baby, boys and girls are not being sexualized in any manner As an American, I find it hard to believe that we are letting a silly misconception about something as wholesome as breastfeeding be turned into a taboo subject, he argued, adding that decades ago, our grandmothers would have laughed at all this controversy. Until a few multinational companies started selling artificial milk, the normal way to feed a baby was by breastfeeding. Thank you Tracy 2 comments . .

July 21, 2011 Hello Today..Its Tod..I believe were expecting each other! Well world I hope youve gathererd all the tods together so we all can unite and save the world from certain doom..but just in case you didnt (shame on you, beca use everyone should know a and Tod ,after all you know you cant have today.) And wit h Oprah gone, I will make it my duty to keep you humored with a different way t o look at the mundane things that you see .As much as I tried to stay away from w orld news so I could I could create a new world.. todworld , that is, I couldnt help but lend my ear the evening news .They wanted to keep me abreast of the l8est l unacy.It is May sweps and even the news is bent on ratings so they are going to p ull out all the stops to bring you the full horror of the world or the complete lunacy .Today ,because of May sweeps, I saw the news for what it really isa caref ully scripted reality tv show. It has all the elements that make those train wrec ks waiting to happen shows so good.Listen to how the news keeps us glued to our s eats. It starts off with the weather(tornadoes, tsunamis hurricanes pollen air w ind water and makes them all sound so tragic,therefore terrifying us ,But we cant tune away because we have to stay tune to find out if we are going to be next i n the storms path(right after these messages)But that never happens when they com e back because they start talking about traffic(backed up) then horror(crime) th en breasts(sex)Thats right breasts . Even in the news sex sells.Its a shame , bu t its true .SoTodly enough Iwent undercover and discovered , 1 theres a ban on public breastfeeding its called public indecency.Its still ok in go go bars thou gh .Bars make for better viewing anyway (and besides we know those fake breasts are incapable of producing milk intyway .They produce dollars .Im jus sayin) a nd 2 theyve just introduced the new L cup bra . One has nothing to do with the o ther directly ,but since todtv is television you can trust .and a source you ca n depend on I thought that this story needed a new twist. I decided to take my f avorite humorous outlook ask the tough question, Why is it that in order to exe rcise ones rights, it usually involves restricting someone elses for example;

For women cant make do with anything less than a KK cup bra: Lingerie company Bra vissimo has introduced a side L, saying women were asking for more cup room. Weve heard that from Oprah Winfrey, like a bajillion times, but if women really n eed a size L, ill-fitting brassieres could truly be a problem. And ladies seem t o be realizing this: The New York Daily News says the average bra size in the U. S. is 36DD, when it used to be 36C 10 years ago. The NYDN quotes Luis Pareles, editor of the Lingerie Journal, who says that wome n are clued in to their true bra sizes, adding, An L-size cup is the largest Ive h eard of. When we hit Z, someones going to have to get control of this thing, before bra si ze spiral out of control Hmmm what story do I see here? With information like this out there,Im sure some ones trying to manufacture this bra.. And I just know theres a girl out there whos determined to be the first person to wear the Z braId like to meet that docto r who going to design those breasts ..or do I. 1 comment . . July 18, 2011 Less than , but greater than before. Hello World. Ive been expecting you! Gr8er is he that is in me than he who is in the world. Well there has been a lot going on lately. If you are one of the few people who are reading this post from time to time you may recall it started out with me sh aring with you what going on with Absolute Care. Well. Im healthy thank God. 417 tcells and V< 23. Gr8. Im happy. I adheared to my regimen even though I wanted to stop. I recall asking if I could stop taking meds for awhile and the Dr. rel uctantly agreed . After I left the office I began to think about some of the thi ngs he mentioned. I respect his opinion as my HCP so I rethought my position and stayed on meds and made some inner leaps. I had to tell myself constantly to a llow the people who love just the way you are ,to love you. I would encourage yo u if your taking the time to read this to do the same . Take stock of the people you hold dearly. Without going into detail I was able to gain some closure on s ome child hood issues that have haunted me. I came to the conclusion that I , b eing unique posess a diffrent way of coming to deal with certain things. I gain more insight into myself and reap better rewards when Im able to play the main role in how I come to terms with things like healthcare. Learning to stand up t o those who dont have my best interest at heart while at the same time respecti ng those who do is always the task at hand. Dr J.R ., who has been my HCP sinc e I came to Ga in 2006, is going into administration and will no longer be in t hat capacity, so Ill be seeing another dr. Id known for a while that he would on e day leave, and I had sought the alternative but again after rethinking the who le thing I went into tv mode and said to myself, look at it as the end of a te levision series and you will be cast in the spinoff. Im just sayin. It is Todtv you know. This is how I get a new twist on the dull and mundane things that you s ee. Welcome .Ive been expecting you. I love it when people stand up for themselves against authority . If any of you

remember I proposed a plan to beat the high cost of airline baggage. Lets revie w a post from a few months ago. .I think I saw a story brewing back then heres an exerpt. I was thinking about the high price of airline travel and the ridiculous fee the y charge for bags, not to mention security. Well I had an idea in order to save money on the bags how about if people just wore all the clothes we were going to pack! Thats right put on a weeks worth of underwear ,socks pants ,dresses (for th e ladies) shirts ,everything ,Ladies you know how frustrating it is to go throug h security only to have them go through your bag and take your make up ,well jus tput it all on .Thats right put on enough make up for lets say 4 daysand walkthrou gh securitywith all your clothes on and make up Picture that!!Whatwould security do ? Are there laws clearly stating that you cant wear all your clothes? No. or what i f bikini clad beauties walked through security wearing just heells, bikini and s arong .Would there still be a pat down? I hope you got your running shoes on bceause my imagination has actually runaw ay with some one and theyve put a new twist on the way I look at things.. I was s o happy to see the following actually happen in real life. Check out the following It seems like this may be a new trend having someone take video of you stripped down and walking through a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint so it can be posted to YouTube. Check out the video of Mike Mueller, who apparently walked through Sky Harbor Ai rport in Phoenix Thanksgiving day in his Speedo swimwear. On his back was writte n I Heart TSA. Stunts like this are being used to protest or support the TSAs controversial new pat down procedures . Oh and it doesnt stop there. Oh no, it gets even better. A few weeks TSA agents p ulled an elderly woman in a wheelchair into security because they felt somethi ng in her adult diaper. A bomb perhaps.They didnt go into any detail because it wasnt quite the bomb they were looking for. After thoroughly searching through the adult diaper I think this was a DIRTY BOMB.

The elderly woman took it all in stride and actually got a laugh out of it. She obviously had taken her dose of tod today and took a new look at the way she loo ked at things ..and so did the TSA. Thus again proving how the Government is real ly all in our s h x t. Can you imagine the detailed report they had to file . Ab out Shit!! Id love to get my hands on that report and interview the agent in det ail so he/she can tell us and the rest of the world just how you sift through s hit. I wonder if they had to send it in for testing.. Im jus askin. Check out thi s story I found about a girl who had a bright idea to expedite travel time throu gh security OKLAHOMA CITY Upset by her experience going through airport security a few weeks ago, a Phoenix woman decided to make a point. Tammy Banovac did it by wearing next to nothing while going through security at the airport in Oklahoma City. Shes wearing only a bra and underweat in plain view of everyone. She said she felt like she was sexually assaulted during an earlier trip to the airport so Wednesday, she wore only this under her coat so agents could easily s

ee she wasnt hiding anything. Video was taken by another passenger and then posted on YouTube. I dont go naked through the airport, its only at the screening facility, Tammy Banov ac told us. Its easier for me, its easier for them, its kind of a win-win situation . Banovac says when she arrived at the airport Tuesday to catch a flight to Phoeni x, something was wrong. The TSA agent told her they detected nitrates on her nit rates are found in bombs. I cant say there were or werent nitrates present but Im a doctor. I know where nitra tes are theyre in our bacon theyre in a weenie and theyre in body lotion that I wea r. She was taken aside for a more thorough search. Her carryon luggage was also sea rched. Then a supervisor was called, and said she wouldnt be flying. So Banovac spent the night in Oklahoma and returned to the airport Wednesday mor ning in her underwear. My checked bag went on to Phoenix without me last night so I had no other clothes , she explains. This time, there were no problems. I sailed through security like a knife through butter. As for arriving in airports in her underwear? I will do it again just for expedie ncy But the best one has to be the woman who returned the favor . Finally someone de cides to express their expressions to the TSA and do something nice in return. T heres more below. Authorities say a Colorado woman who allegedly groped a female Transportation Se curity Administration agent at Phoenixs international airport is facing a felony count of sexual abuse. Phoenix police say 61-year-old Yukari Mihamae is accused of grabbing the left br east of the unidentified TSA agent Thursday afternoon at an airport checkpoint. UPDATE: Frequent flyers all over the nation are rallying in support of Yukari Mihamae on Facebook. A Facebook Community page called, Acquit Yukari Mihamae has popped up o ver the weekend and it already has nearly 600 fans at the time of publication, b ut that number is growing steadily.

Many of the Facebook users offer their support for Miahamae, writing Stay strong! ,I applaud this woman for standing-up, LOVE HER! and Behind you 100%.(breast wishes todtv) Fans of the page also leave comments hoping that this swelling of public support for Miahamae might change TSA security practices which many consider to be too stringent. Check out the Acquit Yukari Mihamae Facebook page here.

Story continues below EARLIER: TSA staff say Mihamae refused to be go through passenger screening and became ar gumentative before she squeezed and twisted the agents breast with both hands. Police were called and say Mihamae admitted grabbing the TSA agent and continued to argue with officers before she was arrested. Maricopa County jail officials say Mihamae was released from custody Friday. The y couldnt immediately provide any information about her case status. Phoenix TV station KSAZ says Mihamae lives in Longmont, Colo., and is self-emplo yed.

I have to add I wish some one had video of her twisting those breasts. She squee zed them with both handswhats that a DD cup? They must have been pretty big. But just imagine if there was video. It would be so funny. She really showed the TSA a new TWIST to the dull and mundane way she looked at things .. Welcome..Ive been expecting you~!!!! 1 comment . . July 16, 2011 I now know what I didnt know then A dear friend of mine shared a bit of wisdom about youth. People could not belie ve she was the mother of two children when she was in her mid thirties.When aske d what was her secret to remaining youthful looking she replied, Always maintain some of your immaturity in the childlike,silly sense ,and it will aways keep you young. Well you dont have to tell me twice about how to remain young. When we wer e all younger I do believe we used to say we couldnt wait til we grew up so we co uld do grown up things like use profanity. It was fun back in the day when we us ed to sneak and do it. It took s lot of practice to get it right so we had to fi nd ways to sneak and use it around our parents. Remember sugar,honey ice ,tea? I t was so grown up to use profanity .And use it well too. Every time you dropped the F bomb on the playground around your friends you became cool. Come on now yo u know that the curse words are the first ones you learn when you are around let s say Puerto Rican people (I know all of the cuss words in sign ). And they lear n ours and we both get them mixed up to the point where they re funny and dont so und at all like they were meant to.Then we all grow up and do the things that gr own ups do , but that kid side kicks in sometimes and I chose to embrace mine . Entirely. Seriously. Oh and did I mention imagination? At my age x8 years old I still find that kid like immature humor so funny. There is only one other pers on who gets it, and she just so happened to be the wise one who reminded me to m aintain some of that immaturity. Needless to say we could spend hours on the pho ne talking about absolutely nothing yet laughing about it the whole time and cra cking 5th and 6th grades jokes on each other .I believe her children are now al

most the age we were when we met. Shes also a mathematician she can calculate ac curately anything or any time frame .And a tomato grower (and tickler, too)I di dnt know at that time that the friend I made 30 some odd years ago would still to this day still be my closest and dearest friend. I think one the gr8est gifts that one could share with another is the gift of fr iendship. Along with that gift comes the joy of laughter which creates a smile. That is another fact that is true 100% of the time. It really is true! Try to la ugh without smiling!! (please do not try this at home.) I know this can be diffi cult . Especially if you have ever been in an awkward situation whereas you have to suppress the laughter and or smile with some other awkward gesture which is even funnier. Im jus sayin. That thought in itself is hilarious when you think a bout. And as for that bit about it being the best medicine.I definitely agree .I think network news is starting to catch on. If they deliver the hard-hitting new s stories the way I do ,(with a new twist on the dull and mundane) I think well get the dose of laughter we need. But just in case the regular news doesnt do it, dont worry I see a story about to brew.

I mentioned awhile back about how news makers make news . By news makers I mean the people in the new news. Atl has really gotten itself in the news lately. Th e horrors of the cheating scandal have been revealed and the truth is finally ou t. Im glad its out and Im sending a hats off to those who are coming forth to expos e the truth. Teachers are leaders .They are in charge of leading the lives of th e children that are placed under their tutelage. They are basically a childs fr ont line to education and the worlds future. Theyre in charge of educating the mi nd of what could be the next Dr , President or teacher or actress . How many ti mes has a teacher seen his or her student reach goals and feel in someway respon sible for helping mold that mind.Without a fair education that child has more ch ances of ending up in the prison system, which is what the cheating scandal( had it not been found out) would have been setting the students up for. After all t here is more money being spent on building prisons to house inmates than there a re good schools to educate children. Im jus sayin .Im lucky enough to say I went to a public school in NJ and I must say I had gr8 teachers. I can remember most of their names because I always had to ask him or her to help me with math. And they did. Never got more than a C because English was my strong point. I enjoyed writing and it was my English teacher Ms S., who took the time to help me write better compositions.Still couldnt conjugate a verb properly or locate the prepo sition( nor do I have the desire) But I was able to create very colorful and ela borate stories back in the early 70s when homework called for a 400 word essa y on what the future would look like in the year 2000. First I wanted to know h ow old I would be in the year 2000. But remember, math was not my strong point. Since science fiction really became science fact , I have to say I wasnt that fa r off. The cars in my science books back in 1969 are actually on the road now. I think I drive one The cities of the future (as depicted in the 60s versi on of the millennium) are really here. With amazing leaps in science doctor s are able to diagnose patients the same way Dr Spock did. I hope the science fi ction of Planet of the Apes and Soylent Green dont become facts. Im jus sayin. The technology that we only read about as kids is actually what educates the future generation. I remember reading in my science book about the invention of the co mputer. Now this was in 1970. It had an artists rendition and it looked a lot lik e what Capt. Kirk used to communicate with. I would sit in awe and wonder what the world would be like if those things were real and now look, I can communica te with someone across the globe via Skype instantly. Now what the future looks like 20 years from now, well its the children who grow into adults that create t hat. They rely on a good support unit . Family (parents , hopefully, yet so many are being raised by grandparents) teachers clergy (when reliable) to help nurtur e the precious young minds into what will eventually mold the future of many oth er people. I know now what I didnt know then but the teachers who were the hardes

t on me were the ones who saw potential in what I took interest in . Particularl y music and writing. There still are good teachers out there .They need to teach the ones who are setting up children to fail what education and the title teac her is all about. As for the rest of science fiction turning itself into science fact, well youre just gonna have to let my imagination runaway with you ! Welcome, Ive been expecting you! Leave a comment . . June 24, 2011 More Elements in the Elixer More elements in the ELIXER Thank you for your presence This is the opening line in every single journey entry. Aside from being thankful, gr8ful, and highly elev8ful,that one line puts me in alignment with powers, principalities and capabilities, all waiting to afford m e (and you too) the more abundant life that weve all been promised. Thats the ELIX ER that I like to mention .Its what makes the words I write stand on their own me rit. (It makes your words stand on their own too) It keeps the atmosphere that I m creating in creating. It colors the inner world with vivid hues and adds mystery and spontaneity to the elixir and allows you to stand from your position and no t just your condition. Its the point when your thoughts become aware of themselve s and carry out what it is that they are to achieve. During that time the Infini te Hand is guiding us, changing us, and molding us into better people (not bette r than anyone, just better) the amazing thing is it happens so gradually we hard ly ever notice. We notice the results of it, but the real thing is to notice from whence it came Giving in to a thought process which calls for surrendering to a c ertain knowing in the unknowing is vital .Not being right all the time and having all the answers is crucial also. Its all growth. When we practice principle on p urpose as a daily goal, wholeheartedly just for the sheer joy of being in presenc e, this little giant called SERENDIPITY comes along and we end up with more than what we may have asked for deserved or needed. As we witness these moments that are unfolding we discover that we are becoming what we are beholding. What you notic e if you are witnessing, is that the process flows effortlessly through you. It will encourage enlighten and delight you to share in the unconditional love and miracles that are abounding all around you. You WILL see them because you are th e co-creator of them.

first thing that I try to do in the morning when I wake up is say thank you. Its usually 3am and the stars and moon are still out. I remember an old quotatio n by a founding father early to bed early to rise keeps a man healthy wealthy and wise.I like to say to my self that I have to wake up early so I can wake up God and the birds. That part of the day is so important to me because its the best time to sit in silence and wait for the sounds of the birds. Im usually up before they are .I need that part of the day to create the rest of the day . It sets the entire stage for what surprises lay ahead I cant wait for the part in the morning where I wake and say thank you and guzzl e coffe before I set over to my desk and start writing. .Its how Icreate the scen e, set the stage and put you in it.(the you being me,or you if youre reading this) It also gives me a chance to reflect and project the positive atmosphere into my environment. As part of my self imposed life treatment,which requires no pills, Im able to focus on a positive outcome. Id rather sit in silence with myself and allow what is right to flow through me. I figured this out one morning, if I set my sights on things above and not so much on what was wrong, whatever was right with me would flow through me in my thoughts feelings and actions. Accentuating the positive diminishes the negati ve and produce better results because I can see my progress. To be able to see my progress is growth and growth is the encouragement needed to fuel this part of the journey. Ive earned the right t o fuel my ambition and not my fear .The most amazing thing about this is that I dont have to be perfect .In fact imperfection is one of the elements in the elixir of life. Another element is to d .You cant have today without tod because the first part of the day is tod. It is 100 % true 100% of the time (try to spell today without Tod ) I absolutely love proving this to myself all day long !Thats what gets me out of the bed so early. Just to see if Im right because proving this to m yself is the elixir that vividly colors my creativity and fuels my individua lity (your elixir does the same thing) . And as for my imagination well.this is how I Let my imagination run away with you and get away wit h it! Welcome, Ive been expecting you!!!!!

1 comment . . June 17, 2011 Hello today, Its me Tod Let my imagination runaway with you.and get away with it!! !! Hello Toddies Sometime when imagination is mentioned its not hard for the average adult not to have one. Its the general belief that imaginative people are weird lacking, str

ange quirky or just crazy. My fellow todds and I dont agree with that. What we do believe is that UN imaginative people are the ones who are lacking. They lack the very thing they wish they hadthe ability to see things from an imaginative po int of view.Id like to share an imaginative point of view with you that I found to dispel that myth. Every tangible thing that we see came from the imagination of someone.Before it manifested itself as physical reality in the real world , i t was an idea. The creative process in which the thought or idea comes into the minds vision, is imagination. It is in the sweet perfection that we are able to find in this in this perfect imperfection ..and allow thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven (imagine whats going on in heaven and create that here) . Th e faith that we strive to have is created through our imagination. We must imagi ne what faith is in order to actually have an idea of what it is. Now faith is t he substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen Hebrews 11:1. W e must hope for through the unseen .Imagine looking through your eyes as oppose d to just with them. Wayne Dyer mentioned in the Power of Intention, when you cha nge the way you look at things, the things you look at change.This is a disciplin ed approach to creative imagination and it can have a positive healing effect on an individuals healing. I had to actually imagine myself being healed spiritual ly in order to know that I had the power within my imaginative mind to actual ly posses physical healing. I used a process called Creative syndrome to manife st it. All it calls for is to imagine the best possible outcome for a situation. How would I feel if things were going just the way I want them to be. I had to imagine the out come and fast forward to the feeling. I created the feeling of the positive outcome in my mind .It was the attitude in which I had during the p rocess which allowed me to put my trust where it needed to be so my steps could be guided. Hmm imagine that!!!! Now who and /or what influenced my imagination to run away with me..and change the mundane way I look at the things I see !!!!!

Ok so by now you all know that I have an odd sense of humor .And a rather vivid imagination. And a penchant for tv, especially if Im on it and people are looki ng at me. (This is todtv, you know. )But that aside,I came across an old show I us ed to watch in NJ back in the 90s . It was the Richard Bey Show Yea, D ick Bey. That was my favorite show. All those sound effects and those rude guest s! Richard would be trying to ask questions and the guests would be talking ove r one another so loudly, he would grab a bullhorn and ,Shut up! (with more sound e ffects ) and then say Where do the find these people?Well ,nowadays you can find t hose types of people on trashy reality tv (my favorite source for wholesome tv e ntertainment). Looking back now I see how that show in its own out-of-the-way w ay,was the beginning of the reality tv craze. It was called audience participati on. The audience is what controlled the antics of the guests.Combine that with the smooth stylings of Richard Bey, and his antics, compettions, and award shows such as the Booty Funny and extremely outragous Jenny Jones was good in her ow n way until(murder).. Gerald was good too but..(broken nose)..and Jerry ,well he does try to offer a piece of sound advice. (and outlast Oprah)But Not Mr Bey. His job was to teach us how to do the macabeyna (Oh so thats where iI inh erited my clever play on words) host the drag races ( with real drag queens) an d other bizarre shenanigans including Beys court where they dont need any proof t o find you guilty or innocent. That warped sense of humor that he had is what dr ew me in. As I went back in time to when I was younger The Addams Family and The Munsters were other shows that I loved to watch . I appreciated it more when I became older because I was able to relate to that perspective that the writers took .For example Morticia would say Oh Gomez darli ng I woke up this morning and saw how dark and gloomy it was and I thought to m y self what a lovely day its going to be. Gomez dear, do you remember what a lovel y time we had on our honeymoon?Gomez would reply Ah yes Morticia,how could I forge t the beauty of death valley with all the vultures. ( they actually had vultures as pets and Morticia grew her own hemlock and had giant choking plants that she

took care of affectionately) Looking back on my love of those shows is where I developed this particular sence of humor . The characters in these s hows had an odd way of looking at things that were not at all odd to them at all . The real geniuses were the writers who allowed their imaginations run away w ith them and straight into our televisions.. and influence my writing style which I hope both inspires and make you smile..so I can let my imagination run away w ith you .
